| Description of the problem | I was driving about 35mph, when the hood of my 2001 dodge ram 1500 popped open. It bent the corners of the hood, i was able to push the hood down, with the help of 2 other guys. If i would have been driving faster, i believe it would have smashed my windshield. It has only happened once, but i am scared that it's going to happen again. We haven't looked into fixing it, because we just don't have the money. We are hoping to at least get it looked at this spring, unless it happens again. |
